A Future Classic

This excellent little slasher film starring Eliza Dushku and Desmond Harrington harps back to such classics of the backwoods slasher genre as The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Last House on the Left and The Hills Have Eyes. The story is simple: Five friends are driving along a road when their jeep crashes into the car of another man. The group go to look for help and find an old building. However, things soon take a sinister turn and they realise that the car crash might have been the least of their worries after all.....

This film is particulary gory and for this reason, gorehounds will not be disappointed. The special prosthetic make-up effects were created by the Stan Winston Studio - the company that created the effects in all three Terminator films as well as in the Jurassic Park films - and are one of the most fascinating parts of the film. The production standards are very high in general as is the acting of the whole cast. Unlike in many other slasher films, the audience actually cares for the characters created here and root for them.

A must see for any horror fan and anyone who enjoys a well-made and atmospheric film.

A Wrong Turn in the Woods! RUN!!!

The story of a group of young adults who get stranded and massacred in the woods of West Virginia by a trio of inbred killers. I liked it very much. After hearing alot of negative remarks about it, I was surprised at how suspenseful it was. Many said it was like the 2003 remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre which is true assuming you don't watch either film. That's like saying That Fright Night and Dracula are the same, it makes you sound like an idiot. Wrong Turn has more in common with The Hills Have Eyes than any other movie as far as the plot. That is not to say that they are the same, or even derivative. If you've missed either you should see both, it would make for an awesome double-feature. The great thing about Wrong Turn is that it's done with modern effects and a good budget, but it's 70's horror style. There's not a huge twist at the end, the story is pretty much what you think it is, and super good at it. The explanation is simple, believable and not supernatural - a perfect mix for a slasher film. Also the gore is higher than most slashers these days, the killing makes you jump a little - which is what a slasher should do. I don't want to laugh during the kills, I want suspense.

I liked It

I Liked It. Not a teen slasher flick. Had a good story. Watch it for yourself.

Worth the Detour

Jesse (Eliza Dushku) and her four friends (two other hot women - Filet and Ribeye, and two guys - Sirloin and Porterhouse), are on a trip in the wilderness of West Virginia when they run over some barbed-wire, destroying their car's tires. Soon thereafter, a young doctor named Chris rams their car. The six are stranded on a seemingly abandoned dirt road; however, they just happen to be trespassing.

The six interlopers are on the ol' Johnson land. Brothers Bubba (nicknamed Three Finger, he's the young one who likes to climb trees and laugh), Cletus (nicknamed Saw-Tooth, he's the middle one who's fond of archery), and big brother Bobby Ray (nicknamed One-Eye, he's the brain of the family who likes canning and preserving) soon see the six outsiders, and become rightfully enraged. Forced to fend for themselves from a young age - their parents dying young as a result of "bad genetics" - the three brothers were left with no other kin to help with cookin', cleanin', and learnin'. As a result of this harsh upbringing, and the fact that not one is smarter than the average chimp, they manage however they can, following in their family's traditions of inbreeding and cannibalism. Knowing only what they have picked up through trial and error, the brothers decide to not only defend their land, but also pick up lunch in the process.

The rest is predictable of most slasher flicks. The women drop clothes, get wet, and scream a lot. The men do heroically stupid things. Blood flies, and all the right people die miserable deaths. Incredible tension and struggle takes place, especially a great battle in the forest ceiling, as the three brothers defend their home valiantly, but ultimately unsuccessfully. In the end it's a heart-warming story of three misunderstood brothers who just happen to enjoy dismemberment and the taste of human flesh.

With great production value, believable gore, beautiful people like Eliza Dushku throughout, a hilarious cackle from Bubba, and a few great surprises, even those who don't appreciate the horror genre should like this one.
